 MASSACRE OF GLENCOE

(rhythm oft) [EJ7

i ~ "You are hereby ordered to fall upon the rebels -
@~1'2 ~ the MacDonalds of Glencoe - and to put to the
sword all under 70." This was the treacherous
mf and cold-blooded order ruthlessly carried out on
13th February, 1692, when the Campbells slaughtered
their hosts, the MacDonalds, at the Massacre of Glencoe.
It was a bloody incident which had deep repercussions, and
was the beginning of the destruction of the Highlanders.
